PhD Research Project
Movement in the womb is essential for normal bone and joint development. In some cases where unborn babies do not move or ‘kick’ enough in the womb, bones and joints can form abnormally. However, the biology, or mechanobiology, underlying the effects of mechanical forces in the womb is not well understood. The Nowlan lab is interested in how mechanical forces in the womb are translated into developmental change. A greater understanding of this topic is relevant to a range of medical and bioengineering topics, such as osteoarthritis and developmental dysplasia of the hip. This PhD project will investigate how the mechanical forces induced by movement, and by the changing environment of the womb, affect bone and joint development.
More information on the research done in the lab can be found at http://nowlan.openwetware.org/Home.html
Funding Notes:
The Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College has fully funded PhD studentships available to start in October 2013. Fourteen fully funded PhD studentships were available in 2012, and we expect to award at least as many this year. The PhD Programme in Bioengineering provides interdisciplinary training at the interface between technology and biomedicine, delivered through an in-depth research project supplemented by specific training modules in computational and experimental methods.

* Please note that full funding is available to UK nationals, or EU nationals who have been resident in the UK for the past 3 years
